DAZN Offers

It's obvious they are going to do this. After a few months, they will just pad out the "Ultimate" with this.
I foolishly bought an annual DAZN subscription package in August (paying monthly), believing they'd just stick the PPVs on the regular subscription. I cancelled a week or two ago, but am stuck with it until next August apparently. No ****ing way I'm upgrading. I'd rather find a pub, spend the money on a few drinks, or listen to the fights on the radio.

 

I'm surprised so many here have paid up more money to DAZN, after all we've been discussing. I'm no better, I was foolishly hooked by the post-Usyk-Dubois spiel from Turki et al. And I knew Itauma-Whyte wasn't PPV material, so when they offered me the 'free PPV' and a slightly reduced sub on 'the annual', i paid up. They fooled me.
But if they fool me twice, that's shame on me.

 

They are offering the Ultimate DAZN to me at £22.99 a month. That's £276 a year.

 

"Minimum of 12 PPV events a year"
The idea that 12 fights a year are even "PPV-worthy" is a joke. Across the board, it's highly unlikely, it's never been seen before. And then if you account for DAZN having serious competitors in the PPV boxing marketplace .... it's comical.

 

Might be overthinking things a bit, but this isn’t Big Turks’ much-vaunted ‘Ring Pass’ that this was originally meant to be before the flashy lights of TKO and Netflix came calling.

Wonder if this is a bit of a last-ditch attempt from DAZN to demonstrate they can get subs/PPV revenue as well as the eyeballs on these upcoming three Saudi-backed shows before the end of the year and convince Big Turks to keep investing in fights on the platform and not take them all to Netflix, or Paramount+ or whoever.

 

Maybe I was wrong.

If DAZN Ultimate costs £276 a year then £249 is probably correct.

 

I wonder if they include the BKFC and X Series PPV Events in that calculation ?

A bit annoying because BKFC and X Series have nothing to do with boxing.

 

I wonder if they'd be cheeky with this yearly ultimate offer and include the YouTubers and Misfits cards that they decide to put on PPV rather then just on their regular, basic schedule

 

So you’d think they probably have to include them. They are PPVs, and I suppose if you’re in to Misfits or bare knuckle, you’d be within your rights to kick off if they aren’t.

Whether or not they count towards your ‘minimum 12 PPVs’ is something else though. Bit of a pisstek if they do, but then they’ve got to get that many somehow!

 

Check the transaction with your payment provider, mate. They should automatically deduct any outstanding months you’ve already paid up front.

I got the credit back for mine, if you paid the annual sub in one instalment they owe you the difference.

 

Yeah, fair point, and I’m fully expecting the Saudi cards to end up as “Super PPVs” or some add-on down the line. Wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest — nothing’s ever really all-in with DAZN.

And honestly, I fully expect them to go the way of Setanta at some point; the model just can’t work. They’re banking on people being enticed by the Nepo Babies rematch next week to keep the numbers ticking over.

 

Was a big fan when it first arrived. Then prices changed and it all got way too confusing for me. Then the nightmare I had when trying to cancel the subscription. It's a shame because I love boxing and will support anything I can 100% but that channel is a shambles. They don't even pretend to care about the fans, it's all about the money. I will never subscribe again

Edit: Scrolling back a couple of pages and people have actually paid upfront for the 12 ppv bull**** lol What's that saying about a fool and his money?

 

I’m not interested in DAZN’s criterion of what is a ppv show, so going blindly for 12 in the future is senseless.
Next week’s open air squabble with those children, is another they are hawking as one.
Then there’s Turki’s, initially, non ppv, now money grab, in Saudi, soaking us!
Winner of 2/3.
Fairly sure, I’ll pass on that one as well, though Haney/Norman is intriguing.

 

Winner of 2/3 - typo!

 

I'm certain David Allen would have been on the "PPV star" roster if he'd got past Makhmudov.
